Key result

Test procedure:

burning rate test: preliminary screening test

Remarks on result:

substance does not ignite and propagate combustion either by burning with flame or smouldering along 200 mm of the powder train within the 2 minutes test period

Remarks:

cC6O4 ammonium salt could not be ignited during the preliminary test (contact time of about two minutes). Therefore, no main test was performed.

cC6O4 ammonium salt could not be ignited during the preliminary test (contact time of about two minutes). Therefore, no main test was performed.

Interpretation of results:

not classified based on GHS criteria

Conclusions:

In contact with the ignition source, cC6O4 ammonium salt melted slowly and evolved some white fume. A waxy residue remained.
cC6O4 ammonium salt could not be ignited with a flame during the preliminary test (contact time of about 2 minutes). Therefore, no main test was performed.

Executive summary:

The determination of the flammability of the test item was performed in accordance with the EEC Directive 92/69, EEC Publication No. L383, Decembed and Council regulation (EC) No. 440/2008, 30 May 2008, Part A, Method for the determination of physico-chimical properties, A. 10 "Flammability (solids)".

In contact with the ignition source, cC6O4 ammonium salt melted slowly and evolved some white fume. A waxy esidue remained. cC6O4 ammonium salt could not be ignited with a flame during the preliminary test (contact time of about 2 minutes). Therefore, no main test was performed. Based on the results of this study, cC6O4 ammonium salt is not to be considered "flammable" according to the Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP) criteria.
